Give me your opinions

Would keeping your mac next to a washing machine/dryer and keeping your mac on 14 hrs a day cause damage to it? The reason I ask about the washer/dryer is because I thought they may have magnets in them? Right now, my screen is flickering and I don't know what it is from. By the way, my mac isn't from the summer of 2000 ( I read the FAQ about those having a wavering picture).

Right now, my screen is flickering and I don't know what it is from.
Turn off the washer/dryer!
Hmm Daniel, I can think of lots of reasons I wouldn't want to keep my Mac next to a washer/dryer:
Heat
Humidity
Lint
Power draw
I don't know about magnets in a washer/dryer, I'm more software.

  • Let's discuss my application architecture,and give me your opinions

    hello
    we have several internal systems that are within the same lan and want to communicate with several external systems that may be in the other buildings by using the release line.i am now considering the architecture for the project,and have got an immature blueprint,please help me to make it more perfect by give me your opinions,the scenario as:
    within the lan,there are several systems that are developed by using different languages,let's suppose they are two(named internal1 and internal2),the two systems need to communicate with other two external systems(named external1 and external2) that are also developed by using different languages.all of the communications are bi-direction.there are several combinations:
    1 internal1 <--> internal2
    2 internal1 <--> external1 or external2
    3 internal2 <--> external1 or external2
    in my project,the timelimit is critical,as short as possible.
    according to the mentioned requirements,i decide to develop a infomation exchanging platform by using java which sit in the MIDDLE of the internal and external systems and WITHIN the lan,act as information dispatcher or coordinator,both of the internal system and external system communicate with it only.considering the multi-language and time-critical feature,i choose the way of socket communication among the systems and design a set of xml format internal protocol.otherwise,i think the message middleware are also needed within my project as message buffer.when i deepen into the detailed designing,i get some confusions,let us discuss them as followiing:
    1 if is the socket the good solution for my project?how can i assign the ports?because of the introduction of the information exchanging platform into my project,the communication combination is simplified to "internal system<-->info exchange platform" and "external system<-->info exchange platform",the crucial point for the port designing is how to assign the port in the info exchange platform,that is SERVER socket port.in my designing,i plan to assign different port for each subsystem.thus,the devleopment to the info exchange platform is simplified,that is:when the message comes,i don't need to analyse the xml message to check which system it comes from.but some people suggest me to open ONE port to all the internal systems,and ANOTHER port to all the external sysetms.i don't know which solution is better?if are there some regulations that concern about the socket port assigning?
    2 if is the information exchanging platform needed?some one suggest that subsystems can communicate with each other directly,
    the coordinating platform is not needed.but i think,from the EAI point of view,there should be a adapter between the internal system and external system.
    3 where should i put the message queue server?and if is the mom needed?i plan to use the mq between the exchange platform and external systems ONLY,and it is also within the lan,in my designing,i config two queue for EACH external system,one for incoming message and other for outgoing message,to each queue,i assign a message listener to execute different operations on its "onMessage" method,that is:when the message come from internal system,the exchange platform send them to the exact OUTGOING queue according to the destination of the message,then the listener of the queue call the socket of the according external system and send the message to it.otherwise,when the external system need to send the message to internal system,it call the exact socket port in the exchange platform that is assigned to it as mentioned above,the platform accept the msg,and send them to the exact incoming queue,then the listener deal with the msg and send them to the internal destination.in this solution,i put the mq behind the socket,but someone give me another suggestion,that is i directly put the message queue between the exchange platform and the external systems instead of using the socket as the front-end,all of them send the message to the queue and listen the queue,but i think,in such solution,the external system must listen the queue REMOTELY,is it a good way?
    also,somebody tell me that the exchange platform and remote external system can communicate each other DIRECTLY by socket,the message queue is not needed,i don't make sure if the mq is necessary in my situation?and what is the benefit and disadvantage?
    as for the communication between the internal system and info exchange platform,i think the mq is NOT needed,they can communicate each other directly by socket,furthermore,in my designing,i make them connect to each other FOREVER,that is i don't close the socket after each message transferation,as mentioned above in the issue of the socket assigning,every port in the exchange platform is DEDICATED,that means the port is specific to each system,so that they don't need to create and close socket connection frequently,that will make the program more performant,but if i use one port to listen all the internal system,then the socket must be closed by the end of each transferation because of the block problem,that is just another reason why i use dedicated port connection to each of the internal system.
    4 the another question is the secure issue accompanying by the socket,i think i needn't consider such problem in the internal connection,but to the connection between the platform and external system,the issue become preeminent,that is i must open the socket port in the firewall.but i think the connection between the lan and the external system use special line,not by internet,i wonder if the secure probem is critical in such situation?otherwise,i remember that some kinds of product from visibroker company can solve the firewall socket problem by using the http channel protocol,but i don't remember its name for sure,it seem like is called something gateway.who used such kind thing?and tell me how does it work?

  • Give us your feedback on v1.2 of the ILM Assistant

    Please give us your feedback on v1.2
    What would you like us to do next?
    Lilian

    Lillian,
    I had sent you information back on 02/29/2008 as a reply to this thread but it must have got deleted.
    Here is the thread from that day.
    I finally got this to work in my 11g database with Database Vault.
    I got to the ILM login page when I exchanged p=4550:10:2805095104274743
    for p=737677:10:2805095104274743.
    i.e.
    http://oraprod-dr.lodgian.com:8080/apex/f?p=737677:10:2805095104274743
    The documentation for logging into ILM 1.2 seems to be not quite accurate.
    What I saw on that page were 2 boxes:
    1. Database User
    2. Password
    So you actually need to login with a "database" user account.
    Initially I logged in as "SYS" just to see what would happen.
    Then I was able to see the ILM tabs and menus.
    I then went into OEM and created a new database user "ILM_DB_ADMIN".
    I followed the instructions for executing the grant_privs.sql script to that newly created database account.
    I was then able to login with that database account.
    Now the url http://oraprod-dr.lodgian.com:8080/apex/f?p=737677 immediately refers to the ILM login page.
    I would not think that this is a "backdoor" login method into ILM since the documentation does mention that you must use a "database" account.

  • My Dad gives me your old iPhone 3GS.

    My Dad gives me your old iPhone 3GS, and i want to disable your iCloud Account and have my own!... How i Do this?

    Hi, Under settings is the iCloud tab, open the tab and delete the account and sign up your own. Before you do this however, this will also remove the ability for your dad to 'Find My Phone'
    You can run multiple iCloud accounts and leave the 'Find My Phone' option open in the existing (Dad's) iCloud account and under mail settings open a new icloud account for yourself and use this for yourself (including iMessage).

  • Preamp racks/Firewire interfaces - your opinions please

    For some time now I've been looking at getting the MOTU 896, as it appears to be a great deal and of great quality. However, the more I look at the forums I've noticed that everyone seems to love their presonus stuff a whole lot.
    So now for your opinions. . . does anyone have any good info or experience with either one of these? Which do you guys like better? Or are there any other interfaces that you'd pick over either of these two? Thanks a lot.

    Its tough, and its all about budget. I wanted to record 16 channels in a live setting, so I went with two firepods. So far, a pretty good experience, though i've had some problems with digital artifacts at random times. Tech support has been pretty good, but we haven't fixed the problem. I've recently discovered that it might be the longer fw cables i bought a while back, not sure yet.
    That said, I'm planning on purchasing an Ensemble once it ships with working drivers and someone has tested it. This way, I'll have 4 apogee pre-amps, 4 line inputs (one firepod in hardware mode will feed this) for a total of 8 apogee A/D convertors, then daisy chain my other pod for an additional 8 channels, also clocked by the Ensemble w/ SPDIF. It should make the pods sound even better.
    From what I've read on these boards, I would definitely go with RME, Metric halo, or possibly the Ensemble. Haven't heard good things about the 896 pres.
    Regardless, you will probably need more pre-amps if you are recording drums, so something like the Presonus Digimax FS or LT will probably be the cheapest option. It really depends on how many pres you need exactly.

  • Router ROMMON upgrade - your opinions

    Hello,
    I've read in several documents that there is only a need to upgrade ROMMON if there are new features in new ROMMON versions.But, e.g. the ROMMON upgrades for the Cisco 2800 platform, the changelog for 12.4(13r)T5 says "Enhancement for device access in certain Cisco routers.",
    12.4(13r)T6 says "DRAM access optimization" and 12.4(13r)T11 says "write/erase timeout increase + status read changes".
    Or with the Cisco 2900 platform, the changelog for 15.0(1r)M10 says:
    Saving of IOS config sometimes fails on some 2900s (Fix in ROMMON)
    -    Bootflash access timing parameter change.
    Compact Flash timing parameter changes (ROMMON)
    -    Compact flash access timing parameter change.
    I think the bug "Saving of IOS config sometimes fails" is not a small one. And I don't know what "DRAM access optimization" or "write/erase timeout increase + status read changes" exactly does.
    Is it still true to upgrade ROMMON just in case there are new features which are needed. Or should the ROMMON be upgraded just as the IOS if a new version with fixes is available?
    Thank you for your opinions.

    Just like with IOS upgrades, generally most would upgrade if there's a new feature or bug fix that pertains to you.  When neither is true, most prefer to not upgrade; "it ain't broke, don't fix it".
    Consider many software releases are for bug fixes, so although you might not have bumped into a known defect, you may.  This would argue for upgrading all maintenance fixes.  However, sometimes, maintenance for defects introduces other defects.  This argues only do an upgrade if operationally necessary.
    So, whether it's an IOS or ROMMON upgrade, it's really what you think is best.
    PS:
    BTW, for some platforms like the 2800, I recall an effective ROMMON update would force an immediate reload, unlike a IOS upgrade which can be loaded onto flash and the reload scheduled for later.  (Suspect this is why Leo insures there's a new IOS on the 2800 before he does the ROMMON upgrade.)

  • Please give me your opinion

    Hi Guys,
    I was wondering if you can give me your opinion about this issue. My friend has a macboobk pro intel core duo 1.83 ghz 512mb ram and 80 gb 15" superdrive and he ask me if I want to trade it for my Macbook 2. ghz Intel core 2 duo , 1gb ram, superdrive, 80gb hd etccc...
    What do you guys think? is it worth it?
    Please advise
    Thanks

    If I were given this option, I'd go with no, only because I've formed an attachment with my macbook.
    However, all the specs on the computers can be upgraded, so if you do choose to make the trade, you can upgrade the memory & ram to your liking, just not the processor speed. If you take an in depth look at the differences between the core duo and the core 2 duo, you might see some that are things you wouldn't want to live without. I've heard that the c2d have the new 802.11n capabilities, while the cd do not. Just something more to take into consideration.
    Personally, I also like the 13.3 inch screen of my macbook (hence why I like it so much) better than the other size screens of other notebooks.
    When I first wanted to get a mac, I was looking at the MBP's, but then I saw the macbooks and my mind was set.
    It is true that your gaming experience and other graphic intensive programs will be better on the mbp, but honestly... I haven't come across anything that runs poorly on my macbook. So... I'd have to go with a no on the trade.
    Just my $.02

  • Your Opinions: Inner Classes Need static Members

    Hi All,
    I want to solicit opinions for a minor change to the way inner classes work. I submitted this as an RFE to Sun and they rejected it, really without giving a reason. I'd like to know your opinions. If there is strong support I will repost the RFE.
    As you probably know, inner classes cannot have static members. The following generates a compiler error:import java.util.*;
    public class MyClass {
       class MyInnerClass {
          // Next line causes compiler error...
          static Map m = new HashMap();
    }In order to get around this you have to make the Map variable a static member of the containing class:import java.util.*;
    public class MyClass {
       static Map m = new HashMap(); // so much for encapsulation...
       class MyInnerClass {
    }I am suggesting that inner class be allowed to contain static members. Here's my reasoning...please comment:
    There are times when members (i.e., fields and methods) rightfully belong to the class as a whole, not to any particular instance of a class. I'm sure we've all found times when it was necessary to have static members in our classes. The same issues that necessitated using static members in top-level classes make them desirable for inner classes as well.
    Designing a class as an inner class is a step toward encapsulation. By forcing static members that logically belong in an inner class to be declared in the containing class is to crack the encapsulation, IMHO.
    Even though a containing class has access to all of an inner class' members (including private members) and vice versa, I think the notion of inner static members still is more OO-ish.
    What are your opinions? Would allowing inner classes to contain static members make Java more object oriented? I think it would.
    Technically, I don't think there's any reason this cannot work since the JVM has no notion of inner classes, per se.
    What do you think?

    an inner class is effectively a non static instance
    variable of its enclosing class. Instance member, but not a variable. it's a class, a type, not a variable.
    >
    I think the problem here is that making a field static
    means more than just that that field and its value are
    common to every instance of the class. It means that
    the value is valid without an instantiation of that
    class.
    Since the class itself must be instantiated (it is
    not static), What do you mean, excatly, by "_must_ be instantiated"? You are not ever "required" to instantiate anything unless you want to use it.
    you can't have static member data inside it. I don't see how this follows from the previous part of the statement.
    How would you reference the static member data of
    the inner class? You would have to specify an
    instance of the inner class, and since this breaks
    the meaning of static, you can't have static members
    in an inner class.How about outerObj.InnerClass.staticMember The syntax is well defined. The question at hand is, do we really want to allow this? The syntax to do this should only be an issue after that question has been answered in the affirmative. The people at Sun have decided not to allow it, so for now, syntax is a non-issue.
    >
    if you wanted a static member in an inner class you
    could put it in a super class of the inner class...Or in the enclosing class, as suggested in the orginal post.

  • Worth Buying? (Your Opinions Please!)

    Hello!
    I have a macintosh G5 and a PowerbookG4.
    Is it worth me buying the new 20" Cinema Display when I have the 17" Studio Display?
    If I buy it, can I use both monitors at once? Or does the cinema display take up both ports?
    Thanks for your opinions...

    Hi Actingbiz,
    the Dual 2 G5 have dual graphics cards on board, so you can hook up both your 17" and 20" displays.
    Is it worth it ? Well, two 23" cinema diplays would be nicer ...
    But seriously; looking at those apps you've listed in your profile, I'd say you'll certainly benefit from a 2nd screen, even if it's not the same model as the older one. If possible at all, I'd always go for two identical screens; and I'd also try not to downgrade.
    Hope this helps

  • File Bloat - Give me your feedback

    Hey guys, I submitted a wish form as follows:
    Brief title for your desired feature:
    Cut the fat feature
    How would you like the feature to work?
    Captivate files tend to suffer from bloat, and when they start to get to big the only solution is to copy and paste all your slides into a new blank project. Unfortunately this breaks any links that you might have in your project. Some kind of tool that can go in an get rid of all unused internal resources that are bloating the file so you don't need to copy and paste.
    Why is this feature important to you?
    It will stop the many many questions in the Captivate forum on how to fix the problem, and we won't have to fix all our links every time we need to cut and paste.
    And I got a reply the very next day:
    Hi Kerry,
    I am from the Adobe Captivate Development team.
    Can you give the following info to help us look into the problem:
    1. Is the bloated project upgraded from Captivate 3 (or is it a new project created in Captivate 4) ? Have you ever faced the project bloating issue in Captivat4-only project (not the ones upgraded) ?
    2. Did you try removing un-used items from the library ?
    3. Will it be possible for you to share the project file (.cp)? - The bloated project file (which will give us a clear picture of the problem).
    regards,
    Sony
    So... give me your feedback in answer to the questions above and I'll consolidate it into a reponse to the development team.
    If you've ever been upset by file bloat... lay it on me and see if we can get it fixed (does it still do it in Cap 4?)
    Cheers and beers,
    Kerry

    Kerry,
    File bloat has been a recurring issue for Forum members (since RoboDemo?).  I have to say I don't have a problem because I design the training so each Captivate project rarely has more than 30 finished slides, and I clean out unused library items often.
    In the past, a solution has been to save the file as a different name then close and reopen (vs. copying and pasting and losing links).  Another strategy has been to publish often.  That seems to clear bloat in some cases.
    It's clear that Captivate is a processor hog, and as we clamor for more features, THAT probably won't go away.  Maybe we could benefit from a 'designing for (or around?) Captivate' Forum division?  Most of the training I see (and the underlying Captivate metaphor?) assumes we all create tidy one-file projects.  I think real-world projects are much larger and messier.  Hence the bloat.  --Leslie
    P.S.  Apologies for all the parentheses.  (Sometimes I can't resist an aside here and there.)

Maybe you are looking for
